One of the things we will be using this web space for is something called discussion threads. This will allow us to have a class discussion outside of class. These discussions are not formal writing assignments, but places for you to comment about reading assignments, ask questions and read and respond to what other people think. However, please use complete sentences and avoid using "text" slang. To access discussion threads, click on the "discussion" tab above, find the assigned thread, and "post" a comment.
Discussion Thread One--Read the article Should Children be Exposed to Facts? and write a response to discussion thread one under the discussion tab above.
Discussion Thread Two--Read William Jennings Bryan's closing speech (that he never got to make) for the 1925 Scope's trial and post a response to discussion thread two.
